Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan has a unique linguistic habit during the company's quarterly analyst calls: he strategically inserts obscure words into his speech. Terms like "gainsay," "concomitant," and "fantods" are not uncommon in his otherwise standard business discussions.
This deliberate use of less common vocabulary appears to be a calculated approach by Moynihan to subtly assert authority and convey a specific tone during these critical financial communications. The practice, noted by observers of Wall Street’s financial lexicon, adds a distinctive flavor to the bank's earnings reports, potentially shaping how analysts and investors perceive the company's performance and leadership.
